| Comfort from Scripture... |
| Isaiah 43:1-3 But now, this is what the Lord says--- He who created you, o Jacob, he who formed you, O Israel: "Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine. When you pass tyrough the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze. For I am your God, the Holy one of Israel, Your Savior." Italics added) |
Mt 11:28:30 Jesus tells us: "cCome to me all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden light." Will you exchange your burdens for Christ's? |
| In the Beatitudes (Mt: 5:3-5), Jesus teaches: "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those who morn, for they will be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth." |
